Hope of Chad Kelly to Start Throwing Within Two Weeks

"Hopefully, I should start throwing within the next two weeks," said Friday by Kelly on NFL Total Access. "My goal is to get ready for training camp and try to help the team win in any way possible."

In the offseason, the veteran quarterbacks may develop rapport with new additions or improve chemistry with returning players. A rookie signal-caller has to start from scratch, which makes those first few months vital.

While Kelly admits that not throwing to Denver's skill-position players has been a disadvantage, he's still attempting to improve his learning curve by using different methods.

"Shut your mouth, work extremely hard and be the first one there, last one to leave, and to lead by example," Kelly said, referring to the advice the former Bills gunslinger told him. "When you're down in the fourth quarter, those guys are going to look to you to make a play. It's up to you to gain that respect and to show them that you're the guy."

While the rookie has a lot of ground to gain on Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch in the Broncos' quarterback competition, if he listens to those words of wisdom, he could catch up quicker than expected.
